Lilleys fire cracker from their cider house just outside Frome is worth a try.
Only 4.5% but prefer it to gold now it’s a belter!!

If you get up Bristol way then North Street Cider and Ashton Press is good stuff.

This stuff is like Crystal Meth, as I'm addicted to it!

Byatt's beer always seems to have a good head on it that stays to the bottom of the glass.
The Dhillons beer, even straight from the tap is flattish, head disapears quickly, so not as tasty as Byatt's for me.

Lager wise, I'd go for Tsingtao, Chinese rice beer.

I tried the Black Sheep milk stout which was surprisingly good considering how mediocre their other offerings are. The Guinness one was OK as well.

Yeah not seen the Guinness one for ages either. I had a decent one in Bristol by the Bristol Beer Factory. It's a nice style especially this time of year

Went to B&M earlier for some Ready Brek for the kids, picked up a couple of bottles of Sadlers Christmas Pudding Stout, very nice.

I’ve bought a few crate off Flavourly the last couple of months. Think I mentioned it before. They work with independent breweries. Decent selection.

There is definitely better out there though.

I joined Beer 52, which is more 'up market'. In terms of value, it appears Flavourly beats Beer 52. If you're after niche beers and plenty of choice, apparently Beer 52 is the way to go.

Personally, I'm only still with Beer 52 because I've had a lot discounts and I've been given a load of vouchers to give people a free crate. I do intend to try Flavourly because of the value (I'm a cheap skate) - do you recommend it?

Had some on draft in Cornwall earlier in the year, first couple of sips were rank but it quickly grows on you.

I've used Beer52 a few times as well and it is better. Some of the Flavourly boxes are a bit repetitive but I've not had a terrible one yet. I've just received this one today.



Don't expect anything ground breaking though and stick with the numerous offers they email out.

I think repetition isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Generally, I prefer to mix and match beers. However, when you find that a beer that tastes nice, you want to stick with it for a bit.

For me, whenever I go to a pub, and they have either Moretti or Hop House on tap, that’s what I’ll be drinking.

Thanks for showing that offer, I’m certainly going to consider it!

It's alright that stuff. A bloke who sells to the trade around here has sent me a price list, 20 bottles of 500ml Veltins for £34 or 20 500ml Budvar for £32, it isn't cheap like the supermarkets but good value if you ask me.

Makes me laugh that it's branded 'Korev lager'. In Cornish Korev means lager so you're calling it lager lager like it's an underworld song.
